#losing 50lbs doesn’t make you more righteous

Its hilarious because every time I post a hot take sort of rant I gain followers, but then I post seemingly innocuous things like "fat people are sexy" or "the pursuit of health is morally neutral" and lose them again.
Its like folks are all for breaking down societal norms, but draw the line at finding fat people attractive, or keeping out of other’s business. It’s like they are all about bodily autonomy until they see you doing or being something they deem unhealthy.
So many of us were raised in ableist, fatphobic environments and there is something so cathartic about actively indulging and enjoying the things you were taught to hate. Accepting my disability doesn’t make me an awful person, and being fat is absolutely beautiful actually. And I am going to be proud of both of those things in the face of a society who shames them and enjoy my damn life.
Life is hard enough. Eat the damn garlic bread and enjoy the moment.
